Cooperative Linux is the first working free and open source method for optimally running Linux on Microsoft Windows natively.

More generally, Cooperative Linux (short-named coLinux) is a port of the Linux kernel that allows it to run cooperatively alongside another operating system on a single machine.

For instance, it allows one to freely run Linux on Windows 2000/XP, without using a commercial PC virtualization software such as VMware, in a way which is much more optimal than using any general purpose PC virtualization software.

In its current condition, it allows us to run the KNOPPIX Japanese Edition on Windows.
